Traveler

I hold my thoughts
In linear form
Until my eyes let lose
   The page...
A simple cure
For writer's-block
I use to get stuck
   For days...
Words would stick
In self conflict
   Distractions and dismay...
Yet still the need
To push the pen
Would help me
   Find my way...
Yet
What would I say
If a matter of gray
Could channel
   The Poets of Old...
Surely the fountain
Would soon run dryer
Than these words
That I've squeezed
   From my soul...

Out Live Ourselves

Out Live Ourselves

I don't know how long we'll last.
We won't die young but we'll live fast
So lets forget our past
And do what we want 'cause what we do will surpass

You Can Not Be One Thing And Not Be The Opposite

You Can Not Be One Thing And Not Be The Opposite

You can not lie
Yet not tell the truth

You can not be wrong
Yet still not be right

You can think something
Yet have no proof

You can not be a pacifist
Yet still not fight

Memories

It seems like all my memories are shut behind your door

And
all
that
remain
come
from
hospital
walls.

And even those aren't very strong

Farm Camp

Farm Camp

Bright green fields
And a brighter blue sky
Tractors moving
As the clouds float by

Tent's pitched
Kinda quick,
Fire's lit
No wood on it

Guitars strum
Then uku joins along
But my phone is singing
The song

Playing football
With the farmers dog
Then go back to
Burning logs

As night falls
On the fields around
The gentleness of the
Guitar is the only sound.

I just got back from camping at this farm.

My Soul

Michael Murphy

My Soul

I believe that my soul is
Part of a whole

Connected to all that you see

You're not just you
And I'm not just me

We're as one, and always will be

When born into heaven
All is made clear

We are one with the earth
With the trees, with the deer

We are one with the clouds
And the rain, and the sea

We are one with each other
I'm with you, you're with me

I never really knew my grandparents and always thought it would be such a gift if I could read anything they wrote! It is why I write!

Uneffected Is Not An Excuse For Ignorance

Uneffected Is Not An Excuse For Ignorance

Issues that don't effect you is like
The news in another country.

We don't need to get involved
To know what's going on

But want to know to stop it
Occurring again

Or to reduce the increasing amount
Of ignorance, globally.
